DON WILTON Don Wilton, recently retired from 30 years as senior pastor of First Baptist Church, Spartanburg, South Carolina, returns to NOBTS as ministry-based Professor of Preaching and Pastoral Ministries. Wilton’s (THD ’86, MDIV ’82) long ministry of preaching and teaching has spanned continents, making an impact for the kingdom from behind the pulpit as well as through print and broadcast media. Known as Billy Graham’s pastor, Wilton was close friends with Graham and served on faculty for the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association Schools of Evangelism and The Billy Graham Training Center at The Cove for many years. Prior to his tenure at FBC Spartanburg, Wilton taught evangelistic preaching for eight years on the NOBTS faculty. As president of The Encouraging Word television ministry, Wilton’s sermons have reached into millions of homes both nationally and globally. As noted at the FBC Spartanburg website, Wilton continues to live out his conviction that “evangelism is incomplete until the evangelized become the evangelists.”
